It was converted to 4-6-0 tender configuration after electrification of the Sydney suburban lines and redeployed to country branches. It later received a superheated boiler and other improvements. 3001 was restored to operation by the NSWRTM during the early 1980's but was withdrawn in around 1997 due to deteriorating mechanical condition. It is now displayed as a static exhibit at Thirlmere.
3013		(C)30	4-6-4T	Beyer Peacock & Co 4456 of 1903	Dismantled	Canberra Railway Museum	3013 survived into preservation following its sale to Hebburn Colliery in 1967 and remained in private use in the Cessnock coalfield until about 1973. It is now stored dismantled at the ARHS Museum in Canberra.
3016		(C)30T	4-6-0	Beyer Peacock & Co 4459 of 1903	Operational	Canberra Railway Museum	3016 and saturated 3102 were saved for preservation by the Australian Railway Historical Society (ACT Division) and have been resident at the Canberra Railway Museum since the mid-1970’s. 3016 wore an attractive Prussian Blue livery with red wheels from the late 1980’s through the 1990’s, giving the locomotive a distinctly German look. In more recent times it has received an authentic black livery.
3026		(C)30T	4-6-0	Beyer Peacock & Co 4469 of 1903	Display	Lachlan Valley Railway	3026 represents the (C)30 class as originally converted, retaining a short smokebox and saturated steam boiler. It is paired with an antique 6-wheel Beyer Peacock tender originally from a (Z)16-class 4-4-0 engine. 3026 is normally resident at Cowra roundhouse and had been operational from the 1970s to the 1990’s but is currently under overhaul.

Loco 3085 was statically displayed at NSWRTM Thirlmere until relocated to the Goulburn Roundhouse on 27 November 2009, where it stayed for nearly 15 years. 3085 moved to Oberon in July 2024 for static restoration by volunteers at the Oberon Tarana Heritage Railway.
3090		(C)30T	4-6-0	NSW Government Railways 57 of 1912	Stored	DSR&M, Dorrigo	3090 was originally built as a 4-6-4T for Sydney suburban train running. Following electrification of the Sydney suburban railways, it was rebuilt to a 4-6-0 configuration for use on country branch lines.
3102		(C)30T	4-6-0	Beyer Peacock & Co 5797 of 1912	Stored	Canberra Railway Museum	3102 was built as a 4-6-4T for Sydney suburban train running. Following electrification of the Sydney suburban railways, it was rebuilt to 4-6-0 configuration for use on country branch lines. 3102 had been maintained operational by the ARHS Canberra during the 1970's and 80's. It was withdrawn from ARHS service in August 1987 (with 3016 being returned to operation in its place) and has since been stored awaiting overhaul.
3112		(C)30	4-6-4T	Beyer Peacock & Co 5807 of 1914	Stored Operational	Goulburn Roundhouse	3112 was purchased privately in 1986 and restored to operation in 1988, following which it saw extensive railtour use. 3112 changed hands in 2007 and the new owner has arranged storage in Canberra on a private siding adjacent to the Canberra Railway Museum. Although nominally operational, I understand 3112 is not currently in use. It has since moved to Goulburn.
3137		(C)30	4-6-4T	NSW Government Railways 134 of 1917	Display	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	3137 had been a stalwart of the NSWRTM operating fleet during the 1970's and 80's and regularly hauled the Museum's ‘Loop Line’ train between Picton, Thirlmere and Buxton. It is now a static exhibit in the exhibit hall, Thirlmere.
3203		(C)32	4-6-0	Beyer Peacock & Co 3402 of 1891	Display	Cooma Monaro Railway, Cooma	3203 was an operational exhibit at the NSWRTM Thirlmere during the 1970's but was later retired due to deteriorating boiler condition and became a static exhibit. 3203 was stored at Broadmeadow Roundhouse from 2008 but a change of fortunes has seen the loco placed on long-term loan to the Cooma Monaro Railway, arriving at Cooma Station on 10 May 2023 for display.
3214		(C)32	4-6-0	Beyer Peacock & Co 3413 of 1892	Display	Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum	3214 was an operational exhibit at the NSWRTM Thirlmere during the 1970's until withdrawn in 1982 due to boiler condition and placed on static display. 3214 had worn an attractive maroon livery when operational but was repainted into basic unlined black livery in 1988. 3214 has since moved to the Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum where it has received a thorough restoration and repainting to lined green livery for static display.
3237		(C)32	4-6-0	Beyer Peacock & Co 3436 of 1892	Operational	Lachlan Valley Railway	3237 was numbered P 508 prior to the NSWGR 1924 renumbering scheme. It was based at Cowra during its later NSWGR service and therefore has found a fitting home in preservation at the Cowra roundhouse. 3237 had been dismantled since the 1980's under a protracted overhaul which included a new front tube-plate. The overhaul was completed with 3237's return to steam in mid-2005, following which it has found much use on main-line duties.
3265		(C)32	4-6-0	Beyer Peacock & Co 4221 of 1901	Operational	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere for the Powerhouse Museum	3265 has been extensively rebuilt and overhauled by volunteers at Eveleigh by the Powerhouse Museum, including provision of a new welded boiler, and now proudly wears its historic ‘Hunter’ nameplates and maroon livery in recollection of its days at the head of the Newcastle Limited express in the 1920’s. 3265 is generally based at the NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere and is often steams for various tours, festivals etc.
3526		(C)35	4-6-0	NSW Government Railways 118 of 1917	Operational	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	3526 served as a NSWRTM tour engine during the early 1970’s and transferred in steam to the NSWRTM Thirlmere in 1975 but was subsequently relegated to static display. In 1983 the boiler clothing was removed for assessment of the boiler, and in 1990 full overhaul began in earnest. Completion was achieved in early 2004 after a government grant to fund new boiler tubes, after which 3526 performed on many heritage and enthusiast tours. Recent works have seen 3526 under heavy overhaul in the workshops at the NSW Rail Museum Thirlmere, including construction of a new tender frame and tank.
3609		(C)36	4-6-0	NSW Government Railways 156 of 1928	Display	Junee Roundhouse Museum	3609 had been statically displayed at the NSWRTM Thirlmere for many years, originally in lined green livery and, after 1988, in lined black livery. From time to time it has provided spare parts to 3642 via component exchange, including a driving wheelset, with 3609 subsequently returned to display. 3609 had been stored in the workshop sidings at Thirlmere since the ‘Trainworks’ development and became somewhat derelict. It was transferred to the Junee Roundhouse Museum in January 2019 and prepared for display.
3616		(C)36	4-6-0	Clyde Engineering 400 of 1927	Stored	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	3616 is unique as the only Australian steam locomotive fitted with a Giesl ejector, in which form it is preserved at the NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere. 3616 had been statically displayed in lined green livery at the NSWRTM during the 1970's but had become faded and rust-streaked by 1988 when it was repainted in unlined black. Unfortunately it is no longer on public display, instead being stored near the workshop at Thirlmere since the redevelopment of the NSWRTM as ‘Trainworks’ (now NSW Rail Museum).
3642		(C)36	4-6-0	Clyde Engineering 376 of 1926	Operational	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	3642 has been a key main-line traffic locomotive in the NSWRTM fleet for many decades, working numerous tours to various destinations and heritage events. It has received a number of heavy overhauls during its preservation career, including a boiler exchange at Goulburn Workshops in 1980. 3642 was withdrawn from service in the late 1990’s and statically displayed at Thirlmere for several years until funding for overhaul was announced in 2006, culminating in a further boiler exchange (using one of several spare (C)36 class boilers retrieved from static use) and re-launch to traffic on 1 March 2008. Tours using 3642 are often marketed under the Heritage Express ‘Legends of Steam’ brand, leveraging the loco’s authentic and attractive lined green livery and reputation for spirited main-line running.
-		(C)36	4-6-0	NSW Government Railways	Static / spare boilers	Various locations	The New South Wales Government Railways apparently favoured (C)36 class boilers for use as stationary steam plant at their various railway workshops, with a significant number surviving in this role for several decades after the demise of steam traction. Several (C)36 class boilers have since been obtained by railway preservation groups, either as spares, curios or exhibits. A notable bank of four such boilers form part of the industrial heritage at the Advanced Technology Park, Redfern, located at the former Eveleigh Railway Workshops.
3801		(C)38	4-6-2	Clyde Engineering 463 of 1943	Operational	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	3801 is Australia's most famous locomotive and has been in rail tour duty for many years. It was out of service from November 2007, finally returning to operation in early 2020 after 12 years of overhaul and boiler repairs. 3801 has been repainted in preparation for re-launch on the weekend of 28 & 29 March 2020, but alas that ceremony had to be postponed amid the COVID-19 pandemic response.
3813		(C)38	4-6-2	NSW Government Railways 165 of 1946	Stored, dismantled	DSR&M, Dorrigo	3813 has an interesting operational history and a rather tragic preservation career, having been dismantled for overhaul in 1973 but never reassembled. The main components became scattered over time but all have since been collected together at Dorrigo.
3820		(C)38	4-6-2	NSW Government Railways 172 of 1947	Display	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	3820's last journey under steam was to deliver several exhibits from Enfield to the NSWRTM, Thirlmere in 1974, working on a temporary boiler certificate. 3820 has since been statically displayed at Thirlmere in lined black livery.
3830		(C)38	4-6-2	NSW Government Railways 182 of 1949	Workshop	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	3830 was reserved for the Powerhouse Museum upon withdrawal by the NSWGR and was stored at the NSWRTM until approximately 1988 when it was towed to the Eveleigh workshops for restoration to operation. Returned to service in 1997, 3830 is now housed at the NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere.
5069		(D)50	2-8-0	Beyer Peacock & Co 4374 of 1902	Stored	DSR&M, Dorrigo	The (D)50 class freight locomotives were introduced in 1896 as the first of the NSWGR ‘Standard Goods Engines’, with 280 of the (D)50 type delivered. The Standard Goods Engine fleet eventually grew to 590 locomotives following construction of the (D)53 class (190 examples) and (D)55 class (120 examples). 5069 is the oldest survivor of the type and retains its saturated steam boiler, having been largely unmodified during its working life. 5069 (with 3028T) worked the DSR&M reopening train to Dorrigo in 1986 and, together with the other DSR&M exhibits, remains stored at Dorrigo pending opening of the collection to the public.
5096		(D)50	2-8-0	Clyde Engineering 1 of 1907	Stored	Chullora Heritage Hub (Transport Heritage NSW)	5096 was selected for preservation in the NSWRTM collection as the first locomotive built by The Clyde Engineering Co Ltd, Granville, NSW. It retains its saturated steam boiler as originally designed. 5096 and many other NSWRTM exhibits were worn and rust-streaked on joining the collection, having been in open storage prior to entering the museum collection in the early 1970’s. 5096 has since been stored away from public view and in August 2008 was rail hauled from Thirlmere for undercover storage at Broadmeadow Locomotive Depot, Newcastle. It moved to storage at the Chullora Heritage Hub in February 2024.

Its inclusion in the Dorrigo collection is appropriate as 5132 regularly worked the Dorrigo branch in 1926.
5353		(D)53	2-8-0	NSW Government Railways 80 of 1913	Stored	DSR&M, Dorrigo	5353 was issued to traffic as TF 1081 on 29 November 1913 and, renumbered as 5353 of the (D)53 class in 1924, went on to become one of the last NSWGR steam locomotives when withdrawn from Port Waratah depot in December 1972 with 1,822,290km of accumulated service. It was purchased in 1974 from the locomotive graveyard at Enfield Depot for the collection of the proposed Hunter Valley Steam Railway & Museum (HVSR&M), which later became the Dorrigo Steam Railway& Museum.
5367		(D)53	2-8-0	Clyde Engineering 122 of 1914	Display	Lachlan Valley Railway	5367 was withdrawn from NSWGR service in July 1972 at the age of 58 years and with 2,174,613 km travelled. Fortunately, it escaped the scrap man, instead being sold for the Lachlan Vintage Village at Forbes and later sold to the Lachlan Valley Railway at Cowra. It has been based at the LVR’s Cowra Roundhouse Museum for many years and has been available for rail tour & enthusiast operations for lengthy periods while cared for by LVR volunteers. 5367 is currently displayed in the Cowra Roundhouse while it awaits overhaul.
5461		(D)53	2-8-0	Clyde Engineering 210 of 1916	Static	Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum	5461 was an operational exhibit at the NSWRTM during the 1970's and was a stalwart of the operational fleet in the early 1980’s. 5461 was withdrawn from NSWRTM operational duties in 1985 and placed on static display. Change came in 1996 when 5461 was transferred to the Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Museum where it is statically displayed paired with the last remaining 4,000 gallon ‘Wampu’ tender as supplied with the (D)55 class.
5595		(D)55	2-8-0	Clyde Engineering 334 of 1924	Static	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	5595 is the sole survivor of 120 examples of the (D)55 class variant of the NSWGR’s Standard Goods locomotives. 5595 was withdrawn from service in 1967 had been somewhat derelict by 1975 when transferred to the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum (NSWRTM) at Thirlmere, however it was restored as a static exhibit during the late 1990's by NSWRTM volunteers. It is currently paired with the Standard Turret Tender formerly attached to 5461, rather than its original ‘Wampu’ tender.
5711		(D)57	4-8-2	Clyde Engineering 435 of 1930	Under static restoration	Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum	5711 is one of the most significant preserved steam locomotives in Australia, being the last of the NSWGR's ‘big engine’ 4-8-2 heavy freight locomotives introduced from 1929. 5711 is slowly being statically restored at Valley Heights, with initial focus on the tender; the loco is temporarily paired with a 36-class tender (tab 3617) while its own is under repair.
58-class		(D)58	4-8-2	NSWGR Eveleigh & Cardiff Workshops	Components only	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	The (D)58 class was designed as an improved version of the earlier (D)57 class, featuring 3 cylinders but using rack-and-pinion valve timing instead of Gresley conjugating valve gear. Today only a few components survive, but they make interesting artefacts showing aspects of steam locomotive construction.
5908		(D)59	2-8-2	Baldwin Lima Hamilton 75571 of 1952	Display	Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre	5908 is one of 20 (D)59 class goods engines ordered by the NSWGR to the design of the USATC ‘S200’ war locomotive. Following the 1949 coal strikes, they were delivered as oil burners although most were later converted to coal firing during the 1960’s. 5908 remains in its original oil burning configuration and survived into preservation following a period of use as a stationary boiler. It was displayed at the NSWRTM Thirlmere from 1977 to 2009, at which stage it was relocated the Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre.
5910		(D)59	2-8-2	Baldwin Lima Hamilton 75573 of 1952	Display	NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere	5910 represents the coal-fired conversion of (D)59 class locomotive in the NSWRTM collection. 5910 was the last of the class in revenue traffic when withdrawn from NSWGR service in August 1972 and went on to become a tour loco. It received a comprehensive overhaul at the NSWRTM Thirlmere from 1981 to 1985 and subsequently travelled widely until withdrawn around 1998 due to boiler condition. 5910 has since been statically displayed.
5916		(D)59	2-8-2	Baldwin Lima Hamilton 75579 of 1952	Stored	Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre	5916 survived into preservation following use as a stationary boiler until 1977, arriving at the NSWRTM Thirlmere as late as 1980. It is currently stored in the Goulburn Roundhouse for the Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre.
5917		(D)59	2-8-2	Baldwin Lima Hamilton 75580 of 1952	Operational	Eveleigh Workshops (on loan to 3801 Ltd from Lachlan Valley Railway)	5917 is privately owned by a syndicate of people associated with the Lachlan Valley Railway, Cowra. It has served widely in enthusiast / tour duties over the decades and has travelled widely through the state, including spells on hire to the ARHS Canberra and 3801 Limited. For a period in the 1980’s it wore an attractive but unauthentic lined green livery; at this time it used the Standard Turret Tender from loco 5367 while its original ‘bobtail’ tender was repaired. In more recent years it has returned to authentic black livery with red lining.
5920		(D)59	2-8-2	Baldwin Lima Hamilton 75583 of 1953	Stored	DSR&M, Dorrigo	5920 is stored at Dorrigo for the DSR&M collection. Like other DSR&M locomotives, it is regularly coated in black oil for weatherproofing. 5920 is notable as the last of many Baldwin steam locomotives delivered to Australia.
